tl;dr: The CEO said he was pro-Trump and he didn’t like the shooting. Certainly not a smart thing to say but not entirely bad, right? Well, he said it to the all the customers via their mailing list.
kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump
"The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end.”
How can any kindhearted compassionate people ever support a bully like trump?!
That’s just physically impossible. Trump is not compassionate, nor kind-hearted.
Corporate mass media does make it possible. There’s still plenty of blame on their part for lacking the interest or critical thinking skills to understand why other people are upset. But it is a thing that can exist. That doesn’t make it acceptable.
But short of returning the media to a pre 1980 state. Which was still wildly imperfect and heavily propagandized. There isn’t a peaceful or obvious solution to this.
The CEO is a right wing trump worshiper.
Dig into the company’s tweet history, and find archived tweets that were deleted for PR/white-washing reasons.
Long history of this stuff.
What is it with sticker companies being of asshole pedigree
Really a shame because they make good products and have fast turnaround.
Used them once, would have again, but no longer. Haven’t tried these guys yet but someone recommended https://www.vinyldisorder.com/ as an alternative in a different post. They seem well reviewed.
Check out StickerApp and StickerPrintGo too. I’ve used them both for personal and business projects and they’ve never let me down.
Stickerapp and stickerprintgo links for anyone else that was curious.
Thanks for that!
If you decide to not use StickerMule again, as the org I’m part of now has, I’d suggest that rather than simply not using them to login to your SM account, then contact them via their Support interface and ask them to remove your account and all data associated with it or direct them to tell you how you can do it yourself and end by telling them exactly why.
I did this as soon as they posted the tweet. They didn’t even bother telling me they had done it or acknowledge my message and I just had to try logging in to make sure it actually got deleted. The complete lack of communication makes me even more glad to never give them business again.
That is an excellent suggestion and sends a very potent and direct message that will be a lot harder to hand wave away. Chances are they’ll still try but it will make it harder on them.
I unsubscribed from marketing emails right away, but this is a good idea.
“The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end.”
Kind-hearted? Compassionate? Maybe two or three in the US that have been totally off the grid fro the last eight years or so.
No one who votes for Trump is kind. No one who votes for Trump is patriotic. No one who votes for Trump is pro-military/veterans.
No one who votes for Trump is worth a shit.
“People are terrified to admit they support Trump,” the email read. “I’ve been scared myself.”
Now you know how Democrats feel in red states. How likely do you think it is that a Democrat is going to physically hurt you for your beliefs?
Forget about the content. If any company spam text/emails me about any political bullshit I’ll ban/boycott them just for wasting my fucking time. Fuck spammers.
I bet this wouldn’t have been half as damaging if the CEO didn’t use the damn mailing list. What a fucking idiot. Just share your awful takes on twitter like a normal person and move on.
Here’s to watching their business implode though.
Here’s a couple of photos from 2006 found on the CEO’s public Flickr page:
The CEO is the guy in the middle in the left photo. The photo on the right was taken the same night, possibly by the CEO, but certainly uploaded by him. At the very least he had no problem with posting it publicly, and has decided not to remove it over the years.
It’s always projection and a persecution complex. “Stop the insane political hate! I feel endangered! Sieg heil.”
It’s always the guys looking like they’d board the Auschwitz trains first who want to be Nazis nowadays.
Where are they in these photos?
As mentioned below the photo:

As of now, finding the Flickr page is as simple as searching for “CEO NAME Flickr”. His name is in the OP article and easily found elsewhere online by searching sticker mule ceo.
I think they meant the location at which the photo was taken and not their positions within the photo?
Yep! I’m an idiot :)
Why are people not saying his name?
Anthony Constantino. The CEO of Stickermule, who abused a company mailing list to spread Pro-Trump propaganda and who has left up a photo of his friends doing a Nazi salute on his personal Flickr account, is Anthony Constantino.
I agree. And I’d like to explain myself…
Personally, I err on the side of always trying to protect myself and my family from fascists (especially monied ones with lawyers and connections). This is even more vital when shining a light on things they probably don’t want people to see. That’s why, in this case, I’m being careful.
His name is out there and anyone can find it. I’m happy to explain how to find it, but in this case I’m just playing it safe by not repeating it myself… for whatever good it’ll do me.
Yeah if fascists harass me for spreading the name of a public figure, they would sooner harass me for tons of other shit. They’re a menace to society who should not be respected or tolerated, exactly because they do not respect or tolerate benign differences.
I understand why you might not want to give them any reason to pay attention to you, but I’d prefer if we all spoke out against them, together, and constantly.
I agree with you. I am not the most courageous person; Far from it, in fact. In this case my fear is winning. I have more to lose now than I did 20 years ago, and more people who depend on me. Thank you for your understanding.
For now I do what I can, and I hope I can count on others to help spread the word, maybe make a scene, agitate a bit. A couple of people have posted that image to sticker mule’s twitter account, some of which have been removed or hidden by “the algorithm”, supposedly. But it would be nice to see more people spreading the photos, more people asking questions. Their instagram, their facebook, wherever. Put it in the face of these neo-fascists and let them publicly defend the CEO then. But I bet they won’t. They seem even more cowardly at heart than I am.
It’s not cowardly to act in the interest of the safety of those you love. It’s only cowardly to throw people under the bus in order to achieve that end. Those of us with less responsibility for the safety of others will still speak out. Thank you for still doing what you can.
Goddammit. I walked right into that.
Let me rephrase… Ahh nevermind. I’ll just assume they were at a grocery store or behind a Denny’s.
I’m sorry! I totally misunderstood you. It looks to me like they were in Washington DC but I am no geoguessr expert. There are a lot more photos from the night on the Flickr page.
ETA: Almost certainly DC. And upon further research, one of the guys in right photo may very well be his brother (a co-founder who has since left the company).
Glad I just stole some vectors from them. I unsubscribed from their emails before this because they were already insufferable.

The market will decide. If they lose sales then maybe they will kick the CEO to the curb. Money talks.
I never heard of them before. Won’t be patronizing them now that I have. That’s actual Bad Publicity, so it exists.
